Made in a tiny town in the Burgundy region of France, Epoisses by Berthaut is one of the great cheeses of the world. It is a name-controlled cheese that has a very pungent aroma and rich, creamy interior. Each cheese is covered in an edible reddish-brown coating, and underneath that, a creamy, white interior with a delightfully daunting aroma that comes straight from the farm. This handcrafted cheese is first washed in brine, then cured in humid cellars for four weeks. After this brief aging period, the rind is rinsed with Marc de Bourgogne, a liqueur that is a by-product of the local wine industry. Please beware: Epoisses is so stinky that it is banned on public transportation in France-- a country usually tolerant of such aromas. This aroma will prevail in the box on arrival, so don't be alarmed.

I never stop eating this. I eat in the morning, for dinner and late night wow life is sooo good, the only I miss kisses from my wife she decided to stay a way from me just for I finish all my cheese I have 11 of it. Thanks igourmet

Poor quality

Have eaten this cheese many times while staying in Beaune. This was a very poor sample that should not have been shipped.

Delicious!

Rich, creamy, and stinky. Doesn't get any better.

Epoisses by Berthaut

This was the best Epoisses I've ever tasted. It was not runny as some I've had. The flavor and aroma were perfect. I ordered some also for my sister who also appreciates "stinky cheeses".

cheese for the season

The epoisses is hard to find in Jacksonville, so I am pleased that my wife and I can enjoy this "stinky" cheese to the dismay of our friends. The raclette is never available so this is a "find" also. Some years ago I purchased 6 types of blue cheese from you so that I could give a blue cheese party. We ate the cheese instead of giving the party. Thanks for having these cheeses available.

I already knew it was a phenomenal cheese

It's been a favorite of mine for years, but was sharing it with a friend who likes stinky cheese but had never had this one. The texture is amazingly creamy, without as much stickiness as brie or camembert, and the flavor, while still in the same family, is utterly distinctive. Really has to be experienced if you like this sort of cheese. The delivery on the order was fast, and beautifully packed, and as they say it can still be smelled outside the box.
